Just read the linked content before making a non sequitur comment.

  The linked content directly leads to what I said. Gnome developers should address this of course (and they don't want to), but I'll repeat recommendation for the end user - use KDE and avoid Gnome. It has been so not just because of the above issue.

    I prefer gnome though. :) Cosmic is the only thing I might be interested in switching from gnome to.

    No it doesn't, as you'd know if you had read it. The linked content is about a KDE program (Kate) having been broken by the negligent (malicious?) actions of Gnome developers. This is self-evidently not something "using KDE and avoiding Gnome" can help with (or has anything to do with). Feel free to read it for more details!

      If you're using KDE, you aren't likely to end up using Adwaita as your icon theme. The primary users affected seem to be users of the GNOME and XFCE flavors of Fedora where it's the default theme.

        Interesting, I've always experienced everything under the sun depending on specifically adwaita (I don't use any DE).

        That's probably libadwaita (the successor to libhandy), which by the way also forces the Adwaita GTK theme. This post is about the Adwaita _icon_ theme. Those are 3 different components (solib, CSS, icons) that all happen to be called Adwaita.

      They only broke Kate on Gnome setups, where Kate tries to use the broken adwaita icon theme. If you use KDE, your default icon theme will be KDE's breeze-icon, not Gnome's adwaita-icon-theme, and the problem won't appear.

I can do that, but I still think it would be nice to keep all applications work on all desktop envs.

  "Nice" only really works if the other parties involved have any impulse to reciprocate. Otherwise, it's just bashing your face against a wall and enabling the harmful behavior.

Just use KDE and avoid Gnome.
